End-use efficiency (eERG)

Referent: Pagliano Lorenzo

The end use Efficiency Research Group (eERG), consisting of a staff professor, two senior researchers and six junior or PhD researchers, is dedicated to researching the technological, economics and regulatory aspects of end use energy efficiency.

Specific areas of activity are:

* building physics, efficient use of energy in buildings, efficient lighting systems, (measurements, audits, computer simulations, retrofit design)
* energy planning at local level
* design and evaluation of Energy Demand Management programmes realised by energy companies or Public Bodies
* analysis of utility tariff structures and their effects on the profitability of energy-efficient technologies, both to utilities and customer
* market research in the field of efficient end-use technologies
